Group Calls for Removal of Texas State Board of Education Member

The Texas Freedom Network is calling for the removal of Cynthia Dunbar from the Texas State Board of Education. Saturday's Ft. Wort Star-Telegram reports that the call came after Dunbar published a new book titled One Nation Under God. In it she claims that the public school system is unconstitutional and tyrannical, because public schools undermine the scriptural authority of families to direct their children's education. However she goes on to say that it would not be responsible at this late date to try to dismantle our system of public education. Dunbar says her book was written for Christian parents seeking an alternative to public education. [Thanks to Scott Mange for the lead.]
